A Day dream

In the dark glowing quiet of my heart.

I feel like a bright colored balloon floating across the universe over the moon yet under the stars.

I have all that I feel in my heart.

I see a circle between my eyes bright colors.

I taste a little song which has many names.

I touch the cool snow under my feet.

I hear my name over and over again.
